Dolly and baby hats :))

I saw her at the second hand shop looking sad, no clothes no hair..:(( I made her a new outfit, knitted some booties and now after much love from children over the past few years, she is now my model.. Her name is  "Dolly".. :))
Pretty in Pink ..
oops ! a little lop sided
Cute in a Baby Blue hugger.
Daisy and Dolly pretty ..
I have used baby wool , pure wool 8 ply. using a 4mm and 4:50mm clover soft touch.. As for the pattern I used a basic pattern and added the st that I felt happy with..
I must confess she still hasn't any hair..:((
